Tri Colored Heron seeking food

Comment from cleo85


This bird looks fierce. The Heron seems ready to spear whatever food comes into its reach. The photo is well focused and exposed and has good depth. The lightroom enhancements are adequate. I appreciate the sharpness of detail and the realism of color and light. The bird is well placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

A very good looking entry into the competition posted here! Your fine, full and off-centre composition offers us an enjoyable view of your handsome heron. Like its beak and feather detail. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!

The shape and form of this heron is simply amazing. I can see the excellent detail and expression in its eyes I love how you captured the true beauty of this feathered friend. I especially love how you've shown the outlined wings with deep shades of color. Very well done Eileen.
Best wishes in the contest.

I really like how lovely this bird is posing for you showing off its fantastic looking feathers, and it is such fine colors to be seen in them. The light is falling on it in such a lovely way, and it is standing out from the background in an excellent way.

The photo is pin sharp showing such clear and well defined details in the feathers of the bird, and the exposure is spot on.

The photo is nicely cropped and the bird has got such a fine placement off to the left. A truly beautiful and well taken photo Eileen, and with an excellent DOF.

Your DOF is spot on and the stop action tells a great story of someone's demise. The lighting is outstanding and the construction makes stop action seamless. Precise focus is sharp and give the scene a 3D feel.
